Countries without a crude refinery can appear under "Last shipped from": the importing country's statistics record where the fuel arrived from. It was refined elsewhere and either sold on or passed through that country's terminals; the statistics do not say which, or where it was refined.

Assumptions
- 1
Latvia: jet fuel available in June 2026
Everything refined in the country plus everything imported.
- 2
Where that fuel came from
Lithuania's refineries ran on (going by its crude imports, April–June 2026)
United States: crude origin not published.
Romania's refineries ran on (going by its crude imports, April–June 2026)

The crude behind Latvia's jet fuel
- Exports are assumed to be drawn from every source in proportion to its share of supply.
- Each country's refineries are assumed to run on its crude-import mix over the latest three months.
- The chain looks back one country only. Imports are counted under the country the fuel was last shipped from; where that country has refineries, fuel that only passed through it is traced as if it had been refined there.
- The crude origin is the producing country the statistics report, not the loading terminal, so the Hormuz answer is a range wherever a producer loads both inside and outside the Persian Gulf.
In June 2026, the largest single source of jet fuel available in Latvia was Lithuania (49%), followed by the United States (42%).
Lithuania's refineries ran on crude from Norway (38%), Saudi Arabia (33%) and the United States (18%), going by its crude imports in April–June 2026.
Taken together, an estimated 19% of the crude behind Latvia's jet fuel came from Norway, 16% from Saudi Arabia and 9% from the United States; 46% cannot be traced.
The largest untraced part (42%) is there because we hold no crude import statistics for the United States.
Up to 59% of the crude behind Latvia's jet fuel is estimated to have passed through the Strait of Hormuz, a significant dependence judged on the upper bound. No midpoint is published: crude that cannot be traced is counted as anything from none to all of it.
This is an estimate, not a reported figure: it assumes exports are drawn proportionally from every source and that each country's refineries run on its crude-import mix, and it looks back only one country.
Hormuz and the pump price in Latvia
Calculated- At most 59% of the crude behind Latvia's jet fuel in June 2026 could have passed through Hormuz.
